A software developer working primarily on iOS applications.

About Me

Hi, I’m Arthur! I am pursuing a bachelors of science degree in computer science at
University at Buffalo.
I combine my skills in design and programming to create products that people enjoy. My interests lie in computer science, UI/UX design, and entrepreneurship. I've worked on a multitude of iOS applications and at a few startups,
some of which are displayed below.

Skills: I'm mostly self-taught in iOS apart from attending
MakeSchool’s Summer Academy back in 2014, where they taught how to create iOS games. Since then I've created a bunch of fun projects, transitioned from games to non-game apps, dabbled in a few technologies and picked up a solid
eye for UI/UX design.

Belief: I strongly believe that anyone can do anything if they put in the time and effort.
“Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.” - Mary Bethune.

Future Plans: I’m very excited about the future of augmented/virtual reality and React Native. But I don't think now is the prime time to develop on those technologies (except AR for iOS). I am always working on a side project, and I am
currently diving into the relatively new programming language called Elixir.

Thanks for visiting my website. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email.

Shipped Projects

Coming Soon

An app that can record a professor's audio and simultaneously translate that audio into text. There are highlighting keywords like 'important' and 'remember' so when they're spoken, it will highlight the sentence they're in. Users can then organize their recordings into folders/subjects like 'English' and 'Social Studies'.

An increasingly fast paced typing game in which the player's goal is to 'hack' 100 contacts from their phone. There is a checkpoint at every 10 contacts hacked. This app was simple and fun to make. It was also an experiment on how popular an app can be with the word 'Hacker' in it.

A fully anonymous message board exclusively for students at the University at Buffalo to exchange ideas, photos, events, and other campus related information. I created all the designs and the iOS app. My partner and friend
Declan Hopkins
created the backend and Android app.

A side scrolling game in which the player tries to collect coins inbetween stone walls passing by to survive longer. It increases pace over time and users are allowed to purchase upgrades with their coins.
